Take-Home Activity: Distracted Drivers Board Game
Directions:
You are part of a team of game designers. Your team has been approached by FunTime Games, Inc. They would like for your group to design a board game to teach younger teenagers and preteens (ages 12-15) about the dangers of driving while distracted. Use the criteria below to create an original board game (or interactive computer game, if technology is available).
Requirements:
You must have a way for players to advance their pieces (dice, spinner, drawing cards, etc.)
You must determine how a player wins the game (accumulation of points, reaching a specific spot on the board first, etc.)
Your game must introduce good driving decisions and reward players for making or selecting good decisions.
o For example, players could draw a card that says, “Driving conditions are poor due to rain. You decide to reduce your speed.
Advance 2 spaces.”
Your game must introduce poor driving decisions and penalize players for making or selecting poor decision.
o For example, players could draw a card that says, “You can’t find your glasses but decide to drive anyway. Lose a turn.”
Suggestions:
Begin by brainstorming good driving decisions and poor driving decisions.
Make a list of your ideas.
Determine the set up for your game—how players will advance, how players will be introduced to good and poor driving decisions
Write out the directions for your game.
Create your board/playing area.
Create your player pieces.
Decide on a name for your game.
Play a round of your game to determine if it “works”.
Revise or modify to fix any problems you encounter.
